SEELANGS Digest - 13 Jan 2013 (#2013-26)

[Sibelan Forrester]

We have a Russian-American student (recently out of high school herself) who is a big fan of Leonid Gaidai's 1973 "Ivan Vasil'evich meniaet professiiu" - based on a play by Mikhail Bulgakov. It's antic and very funny (Ivan the Terrible shows up in Moscow after a dorky inventor creates a time machine), though the historical aspects give room to discuss things that aren't funny.

*Subject:* [SEELANGS] Russian Films Appropriate for High School Showing

If you aren't looking for new films (I see some older ones have been 
suggested here by others), I think Mikhalkov's "12" is a knockout. It's 
the same basic plot line as the 1950s Lumet film "Twelve Angry Men."
